Raymond
Asked on September 16th, 2025how does the pricing work? if we book now a s2 then the cos twill be $x per person , but if 6 more people book on the same date before we go then the price will drop down as 8 will be going. Do we get the difference returned?
Choose BalkansOperator•Written September 2025The price for 8+ is a special rate that applies only when there are 8 people in the same party booking together. If you book now for 2 people, the standard rate will apply. Should more people book separately on the same date, the price for your booking would remain the same.

Traveler•Written July 2025We kindly request if you could reduce the deposit requirement to 20% instead of 30%. This adjustment would help us proceed with the bookings more confidently on behalf of our customers. As you understand, if a visa is not granted, a 30% deposit would result in a significant loss on our end.
- Choose BalkansOperator•Written July 2025
As per our standard policy, a deposit of 50% is normally required to confirm bookings. However, we already made an exception in this case by reducing it to 30%. Unfortunately, we are unable to lower it further.
